The disclosure includes an apparatus and method for using a sling. The sling includes a lanyard portion and a magnetic retainer portion.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a rapid adjust buckle for a rifle sling. The buckle can include a main buckle portion with a pair of side portions and a handle portion extending between the pair of side portions and over the main buckle portion to define a handle aperture. In various embodiments the handle portion and the main buckle portion are a unitary piece composed of a polymer material with the handle portion being flexibly biased towards an uncompressed open shape such that the handle portion is configured to compress against the main buckle portion in response to a compressing force but return to the uncompressed open shape when the compressing force is relieved. In one or more embodiments the handle portion includes a plurality of jointed connection points configured to flatten the profile of the handle portion when the handle portion is exposed to the compressing force.

A support strap including a band, a windlass strap and a windlass handle. The band has a buckle end and a lead end, and the windlass strap is secured to the band at a first positioned and a second position along the length of the wand. The windlass handle provides a windlass bar and the windlass handle is secured to the windless strap at the position of the windlass bar. Rotation of the windlass handle will rotate the windlass bar and wind the windlass strap.

The invention concerns a gun sling, gun equipment set, and methods of carrying a gun. The sling comprising a strap, a first buckle through which the strap passes so as to form a first length-adjustable loop, a second buckle through which the strap passes so as to form a second length-adjustable loop, a first gun attachment swivel arranged to the first loop, and a second gun attachment swivel arranged to the second loop. According to the invention, the strap is unitary and the first and second gun attachment swivels are capable of freely running along the first and second loops, respectively. The invention allows for versatile carry methods of rifle-type guns.

A sling keeper for securing a sling to a firearm during storage or transport of the firearm. The sling keeper comprises a first strap and a second strap. The first strap includes a length defined by a first end and a second end, and a length. The first strap may include a first securing mechanism disposed proximate the first end and a second securing mechanism disposed proximate the second end. The first securing mechanism is mate-able with the second securing mechanism. The second strap has a first end coupled to the first strap between the first end and the second end of the first. The second strap has a second end, and a third securing mechanism disposed proximate the second end. The second strap or the first strap may include at least a fourth securing mechanism, wherein the fourth securing mechanism is mate-able with the third securing mechanism.

Provided is a method that includes determining a device geolocation based on a satellite signal received by a weapon-tracking device and receiving a sensor reading using a sensor attached to the weapon-tracking device, wherein the sensor is sensitive to a use of the weapon. The instructions include determining that a change in the sensor reading satisfies a change threshold and, in response to a determination that the change threshold is satisfied, transmitting device state data to a wireless signal receiver via a wireless signal, wherein the device state data comprises a device identifier and the device geolocation. The instructions further include storing the device identifier and the device geolocation in a data server in communication with the wireless signal receiver and transmitting a message based on the device identifier and device geolocation to a client from the data server.

A targeting system comprising a helmet, primary firearm, and secondary firearm. The helmet includes a helmet display. a primary firearm comprising: a receiver, a primary barrel, a primary camera, a swivel control, a first mounting point, a first display, and a second display. The secondary firearm includes a camera and a secondary barrel. The computing device comprises an user interface. The control circuit is coupled to the helmet, the firearm apparatus, and the user interface. The primary barrel is functionally coupled to the receiver. The helmet display is a heads-up display. The swivel control is functionally coupled to the secondary firearm. The secondary firearm is rotatably coupled to the first mounting point. The control circuit is configured to capture and convey images and video; receive a targeting instruction on the secondary firearm from the user interface; and instruct the swivel control to acquire a sight picture.

The disclosure relates to an adjustable firearm sling that allows a user to rapidly adjust orientation of the firearm between resting and firing positions.

A chest support sling for hands free transport with quick release of an elongated firearm or crossbow. In each instance, the sling includes a main strap adapted to being supported upon a shoulder of a wearer. The strap is connected at opposite ends to a pocket which is further adapted to be arranged to a side waist location of the wearer and to receive a butt end of the firearm or crossbow. A secondary support strap extends from the main strap and is adapted for engaging an extended location of the firearm or crossbow to maintain hands-free support when carried by the wearer.
